FALL ASLEEP WITH YOGA NIDRA :Guided Meditation for Deep Relaxation that Can Help You Fall Asleep

PLEASE OPEN TO READ :) This Yoga Nidra meditation I share in this video is created to allow the deep restful state relaxation to help you drift off to sleep (if this is your intention). Scroll down a little further where I explain this further :)
This beautiful guided yoga nidra meditation is designed to promote a deep level of relaxation. Drift off into a deep restful sleep as you progressively relax, soften and release each part of your body. This release of tension induces total relaxation at ALL levels...physical, mental and emotional. Some say that an hour of Yoga Nidra can be just as restorative as four hours of regular sleep. The soft-spoken soothing female voice along with the calming sleep music and peaceful ocean waves will have you drifting off to sleep in no time! Hope you enjoy this beautiful sleep meditation as we journey together into this blissful state! Please scroll down to read the safety disclaimer before listening!

PLEASE NOTE: The kind of Yoga Nidra I share in this video is created to fully embrace the restful state that it brings to help you drift off to sleep (if this is your intention only). Not all yoga teachers, however, take this approach. Many yoga instructors encourage their yoga nidra students to not fall asleep and to stay fully aware through the whole meditation. Jennifer Piercy (Yogic Sleep Expert, Educator & Mentor) speaks about how Yoga Nidra is about awareness and NOT clinging to waking. She states that sleep isn’t about losing consciousness, instead, sleep is PART of consciousness. So if you prefer to stay awake, aware and alert then you don't have to fall asleep while listening :) You can make the intention to be fully aware through the meditation and return back to your activities once the meditation is over :) However if you do want to use this as a sleep aid then go ahead and embrace the deep restful state it will bring to help you fall asleep!
I think it is important to know that people may have different opinions about whether Yoga Nidra can be used for sleep. I personally feel it's okay to have differences :). It is important to find what works best for our own well-being. After all, that's what matters the most in the end. :)
Feel free, to refer to this lovely blog post by Jennifer Piercy and how she explains her view on using Yoga Nidra as a sleep aid. She is a wonderful meditation teacher!

Wishing you a peaceful night,
Joanne xo

Hi friends! Yoga Nidra promotes a deep level of relaxation that can bring deep restful sleep (if that is your intention) as you progressively relax, soften and release each part of your body. This release of tension induces total relaxation at ALL levels...physical, mental and emotional. Some say that an hour of Yoga Nidra can be just as restorative as four hours of regular sleep. The soft spoken voice, gentle background music and peaceful ocean waves will have you fast asleep in no time! Hope you enjoy this beautiful sleep meditation as we journey together into this blissful state!

I have had trouble falling asleep and concentrating on meditating at night lately and this helped me so much, thank you! Your voice is so soothing and perfect for yoga nidra. 🙏

[Giseon]

Expectation is a powerful attractive force.

This has helped me so much. I had surgery last week and have had difficulty getting comfortable to sleep. I also had some anxiety/concerns after the surgery and this practice has really helped

[RitaWaimea]

Thank you so much for uploading, this one is just wonderful. I could completely let go. Love your voice, love the music.

Hi I listened to this entirely. I didn’t fall a sleep. But lose and very relaxed.

[KurlyKath]

I love what you wrote. I think this is Exactly what I'be been looking for. My one wish is that is was recorded in a way that allowed folks whose hearing is somewhat impaired (like my 75 year old hearing) increase the volume so we don't have to "work at" hearing it. Others can easily turn it down. Do you have a site where your recordings can be purchased?

[MH-isxi]
